Simple Lemon-Baked Chicken

Recipe by MOLLYMARIE from allrecipes.com

Dinner 3 Hr. 10 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • cooking spray
  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 lemon, halved
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Rub chicken with salt inside and out. Squeeze lemon juice from lemon halves over outside of chicken, then rub paprika all over. Place lemon halves inside chicken cavity, then place chicken into the prepared baking dish. Pour water over chicken to prevent drying.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, basting with water as needed, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
